Reta Cowley
Reception: Thursday, December 3rd, 5pm - 8pm
November 28 - December 24, 2009
Art Placement is pleased to present this special exhibition of select watercolour and oil paintings from the estate of Reta Cowley (1910 - 2004). Regarded as one of Canadas top watercolourists, she
studied art under several generations of major teachers from the west: Augustus Kenderdine at Emma Lake in the late 1930s, Walter Phillips at the Banff School of Fine Arts in the 1940s, and Eli Bornstein at the University of Saskatchewan in the early 1950s. The Emma Lake Artists Workshop was an important influence on her in her early days and she remained an active participant through to the mid 1980s. Reta Cowley has also influenced many generations of Saskatoon landscape artists including Dorothy Knowles, Clint Hunker,Terry Fenton and Kelly
Goerzen who continue to draw inspiration from her response to the landscape.
